You better not cry or pout, ‘cause Santa Claus is coming to town!

Christmas Eve isn't the only time of year that Santa makes the trip away from the North Pole - he's stopping in Philly a lot this year! The lovable, jolly man in red will be taking time out of his busy schedule to take family photos, read wish lists and officiate local parades. If you still need to put in a last-minute good word before Santa checks his list twice, now is the time.

We're on Santa Watch here at the Phillyfunguide! If you spot him, let us know on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @Phillyfunguide! Hopefully we made the nice list!

Stroll down Germantown Avenue and take in all this neighborhood has to offer with the beautiful holiday lights, extended store hours, live music, and even appearances from Santa Claus himself. See the magic of Stag & Doe nights for yourself every Wednesday evening through December 18.

This holiday season, head to the Legoland Discovery Center for Holiday Bricktacular! From November 22, 2019 through December 31, 2019, families can take part in themed workshops, scavenger hunts, LEGO builds and of course, meeting LEGO Santa!

Treat yourself and the whole family to a holiday lunch experience you'll never forget! On December 15, 2019, head to the Loews Hotel Philadelphia in Center City for a special themed lunch buffet, craft activities for the whole family, a holiday bouncy castle, and photos with ol' St. Nick himself. Don't miss it!

What's better than a day cruise? A holiday-themed day cruise! On December 14 and December 15, the Spirit of Philadelphia is hosting a special lunch for the whole family. Enjoy delicious food, fabulous views and quality time with Santa Claus!
